Be safe, people in the winter storm maelstrom.
WS, that sounds utterly infuriating. Co-workers who undermine you are horrible anyway, but in this case, where she's undermining you on something involving the well-being of another human being who's got complex health, family and social issues -- RAGE.
Undermining me is cruddy. But I am kinda resigned to there being a certain portion of people who can listen to dietary instructions (including from dieticians. Did I mention we brought in a dietician to educate us about optimal meal planning. Guess who was not there?) and come away with the impression that they are already doing exactly what they should be doing therefore need to make zero changes. The part I'm RAGEing about is the way Mrs. Loves Carbs manipulates the younger coworker. Younger coworker knows it is happening, but does not know how to counter it without creating a bigger conflict so just gives in to it.
"Potentially historic winter storm"
My second thought is...if it's a historic storm and I don't get a snow day, I will be
pissed.
Wow, East Coast people! Stay warm and take lots of pictures.
Meanwhile we're having historic weather in the other direction out here. Which isn't quite so dramatic, but I did have a lot of "OMG I can't believe how few layers I'm wearing and it feels more like April than January!" conversations when I was out running errands yesterday. Today it's supposed to get into the 60's, which would be perfectly normal for JUNE.
Grocery shopped and chipped the ice off the sidewalk in front and some of the driveway after I saw the most diligent neighbor doing it on her side. It's really warm here today, FTR. By which I mean 30s.
Now I'm cooking chicken for a recipe I'm going to make later. It called for pre-cooked chicken and also broth, so I threw some stock veg into the water I'm now cooking the chicken in -- two birds, one stone!
Stay warm NYCistas. Somehow, we in WI dodged that bullet; like Jesse we're in the low-mid-30s and grateful for the January heat wave.
Andi, you have my sympathies. I've had to deal with that kind of behavior way to much in my current job. I've giving the place six more months and then I'm outta there.
I think they're only predicting 1-3 inches for us! Which seems weird. I guess we'll see.
Looks like they're just predicting 1-3 inches here.
